rdf:langString Scherger was the first to go to the CAS post with a bit of class; the others approached it in a registered, a pedestrian fashion. There was a strain of ruthlessness in Scherger; he would not spare you if his interests and yours conflicted.

rdf:langString You always got a straight answer from Scherger, even when you didn't like it. He was very pro-Australian, and why not?

rdf:langString I was unemployed for one month, which isn't very encouraging in the middle of a war.

rdf:langString Air Chief Marshal Sir Frederick Rudolph William Scherger, KBE, CB, DSO, AFC (18 May 1904 – 16 January 1984) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). He served as Chief of the Air Staff, the RAAF's highest-ranking position, from 1957 until 1961, and as Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, forerunner of the role of Australia's Chief of the Defence Force, from 1961 until 1966. He was the first RAAF officer to hold the rank of air chief marshal. Born in Victoria of German origins, Scherger graduated from the Royal Military College, Duntroon, before transferring to the Air Force in 1925. He was considered one of the top aviators between the wars, serving as a fighter pilot, test pilot, and flying instructor. He held senior training posts in the late 1930s and the early years of World War II, earning the Air Force Cross in June 1940. Promoted to group captain, Scherger was acting commander of North-Western Area when Darwin suffered its first air raid in February 1942. Praised for his actions in the aftermath of the attack, he went on to lead the RAAF's major mobile strike force in the South West Pacific, No. 10 Operational Group (later the Australian First Tactical Air Force), and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in September 1944 for his actions during the assaults on Aitape and Noemfoor in Western New Guinea. After the war, Scherger served in senior posts, including Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, Head of the Australian Joint Services Staff in Washington, D.C., and commander of Commonwealth air forces during the Malayan Emergency. In 1957, he was promoted to air marshal and became Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), presiding over a significant modernisation of RAAF equipment. Completing his term as CAS in 1961, he was the Air Force's first appointee to the position of Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC). As Chairman of COSC, Scherger became Australia's first air chief marshal in 1965, and played a leading role in the commitment of troops to the Vietnam War. Leaving the military the following year, he was appointed chairman of the Australian National Airlines Commission and, from 1968, of the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. Popularly known as "Scherg", he retired in 1975 and lived in Melbourne until his death in 1984 at the age of seventy-nine.

Il est notamment le premier officier de la Force aérienne royale australienne (RAAF) à accéder au rang d'air chief marshal. Scherger est diplômé du Collège militaire royal de Duntroon, avant d'être muté dans l'armée de l'air en 1925. Considéré par ses pairs comme l'un des meilleurs aviateurs de l'entre-deux-guerres, il est à la fois pilote de chasse, pilote d'essai et instructeur de vol. Vers la fin des années 1930 et au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il devient l'un des principaux instructeurs de vol de l'armée de l'air australienne. Promu au grade de group captain, Scherger est commandant par intérim du North-Western Area Command lors du premier bombardement de Darwin le 19 février 1942. Au lendemain de cette attaque, il dirige la principale force de frappe aérienne de la RAAF dans le Pacifique Sud-Ouest, le Groupe opérationnel no 10 (no 10 OG), qui devient plus tard l'Australian First Tactical Air Force. Il reçoit l'Air Force Cross et l'Ordre du Service distingué pour ses efforts de guerre durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Après la guerre, il devient chef d'état-major adjoint de la Force aérienne, puis chef d'état-major australien des forces interarmées à Washington, et enfin commandant des forces aériennes du Commonwealth durant l'insurrection communiste malaise. En 1957, il est promu air marshal et occupe le poste de Chef d'état-major de la Force aérienne, où il met en place une politique de modernisation importante des équipements de la RAAF, cherchant notamment à doter ses avions d'armes nucléaires. À la fin de son mandat en 1961, il devient le premier membre de la Force aérienne à occuper le poste de président du Comité des chefs d'état-major, équivalent actuel du commandant en chef des Forces armées. En 1965, Scherger devient le premier air chief marshal d'Australie et joue un rôle de premier plan dans l'engagement australien dans la guerre du Viêt Nam. Il quitte l'armée l'année suivante et devient président du Trans Australia Airlines puis du Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation, en 1968. Il prend sa retraite en 1975 et s'installe à Melbourne, où il meurt en 1984 à l'âge de soixante-dix-neuf ans.
